As the night came the rescue team for Edwin and Hermione gathered at the second-floor girl's washroom other than Edwin's friends Daphne and Isabella had joined the rescue team after finding out that they were going to try and get Edwin back.

" Everyone remember the plan, we have to take out the Basilisk before trying to save anyone, " Theodore said signaling Harry to open the Sink, they had learned that the sink is the entrance to the chamber of secrets from Moaning Myrtle who was more than happy that she may have new friends in the future and offered to share the washroom to anyone who died.

Harry and Ron had tried to get Lockhart to come with them he had agreed but was nowhere to be seen as they couldn't waste any more time waiting on Lockhart Harry turned to the Sink and Hissed the sink moved to show a hole which everyone jumped down.

As they were coming down into the chamber of secrets Edwin was making a plan to defeat Tom who was now projecting himself from the book with no wand Edwin couldn't do anything since he didn't know any offensive wandless magic he could only wait until someone gives him the opportunity to take Hermione wand.

The time was going slow in Edwin's mind as he couldn't show that he could break free while waiting he heard screams coming from the entrance of the chamber " finally " Edwin thought

" look's like people really care about you two," Tom said with a smile " And it seems that the Basilisk will have a good meal "

Harry and Ron walked through the door first Ron who saw Hermione laying on the ground shout " let her go "

" Edwin " Yasbel shout

" whoever you are let them go " Harry shout

" You don't know anything do you," Tom said " TO be honest I was shocked to hear that I was defeated by a mere child "

" what are you talking about " Harry hissed

" My name is Tom Marvolo Riddle," Tom said writing on in the air everyone had a clueless expression on their face as they did not know that was " But I have long shed that name most know me as Lord Voldemort "

The faces of the Slytherin students turned awful as some of the parents are supporters of Voldemort by just hearing the name they felt a chill ran down their spines they all look as though they lost their nerve but after a moment they recovered from the shock.

Tom Hissed and soon a loud sound came from one the tunnels on the wall the Basilisk came rushing out and hissed the deep green serpent hissed at Tom then turned and faced the direction of Harry and charged forward but a loud caw came from the sky dropping the Sorting hat it's Dumbledore Phoenix Fawkes

Fawkes took a dive into the Basilisk face and used it's claws to gouge gout its eyes in one swoop with the Basilisk eyes damage everyone had a greater chance of winning seeing the opportunity Theodore, Draco and Daphne started the attack on the Basilisk and soon everyone followed but the Basilisk skin was too tick and the spells cast had little to no effect.

Seeing the effects The twins started to use more powerful spells that aim to do more damage such as the severing charm but it didn't leave a deep wound seeing everyone struggling Edwin wanted to step in and help but he didn't want to give up being close to the diary.

" Why are you fighting me Malfoy, Nott," Tom asked " Why are you Slytherin protecting this Mud-blood! " as Tom said that the Basilisk eased after a hissed from Tom

" Mud-blood what are you talking about, " Draco said still holding his wand at the Basilisk " were here for Edwin a half-blood "

Tom grew a smile, oh his face " Edwin...he's a filthy Mud-blood who pretended to be a Half-blood so he would be accepted in Slytherin "

The faces of everyone but Yasbel showed their emotion that they didn't know Edwin was a Mud-blood

" what that can't be... He's a half-blood " Daphne said

" He has been fooling everyone isn't that right Yasbel," Tom said

" He's right we're muggle born's " Yasbel said clenching her hands " is that so bad...aren't we still friends "

" Friends?... why would I ever be Friends with a filthy mud-blood!" Theodore shout " You don't even deserve to be here " As Theodore shout Yasbel eyes teared up and she took a step back as Draco was about to say something Theodore stopped him and the rest of the Slytherin did nothing watch as they know that a side must be chosen.

" Theodore ... " Harry said

" I see where you stand and I must say you are right they don't even deserve to be here," Tom said " Come join me and let the school be pure "

Theodore grabbed Draco and singled the two girls to Flow them the Slytherin made their way to Tom side, the Twins who had been around Theodore and Draco for most of the year face was red as their head the pulled their wands and point at them and shot several spells at them Theodore and Draco Easily deflected them " Are you two even trying " Draco provoked the Twins

" Yeah a couple of slimy snakes that need to be taken care of " George answer

With the Slytherin students standing on the side of Tom the Basilisk started to attack Harry, Ron and Yasbel " You bastards " Ron shout

" Reach into me " The sorting hat shout Harry who was closer heard this and reached into the Sorting hat and pulled out the Griffindoor's sword after Tom saw that he order the Basilisk to focus on Harry.

" Harry " Ron shout

With the Griffindoor sword out Edwin could Finally move without worry as he still had a trust in Theodore them as the Basilisk moved close to Harry to strike it was stopped with a series of attack that came from behind the Slytherin students had tricked Tom with the damage done to its body the Basilisk ignored its orders to kill harry and attack the Slytherin group.

with the odds of winning high, Edwin broke out of Tom's Control and threw the diary away from him and shout " Accio wand " Edwin's wand flew from where Tom was standing and appear in his had with his wand now Edwin moved his wand in a slashing motion and said " Sectumsempra "

Three slashes appear on the Basilisk as though it's been cut by an invisible blade bright red blood flow of out the three laceration the Basilisk hissed in pain as it lost control it to rush to where Edwin was but he had already picked up the diary and throw it to where he was planning on running " Harry kill it " Edwin shout as he lead the Basilisk towards Harry

Gaining back focus Harry swing the sword at the Basilisk neck the sharp sword decapitates the Basilisk it's head came clean off as Edwin was still running to where he threw the book he shouts at Harry " Throw the sword "
